This switch from Analog signal to Digital is being put off so as to allow those who may not have been informed of the switch to prepare for it, so as to not lose their tv signal. Some people are opposed to the delay because they see it as something that would only add to the confusion of the situation. The people who actually need to switch are those using antennas to recieve the signal or people with older television sets. With this switch, the benefits include better picture, more channel access, and less signals in the air, opening up the analog waves to other interests. These include telephone companies and public safety agencies.
